Sep 3, 2002 1:59 PM | | This guy says he's got $10,000 invested in this machine!!! |
| Bad@ss... | RED5
Sep 3, 2002 2:29 PM | | but I don't see $10,000.00. I'm suspicious. Where did he get the parts from overseas maybe? Some weird exchange rate calculation? I don't know????????? Nice bike though, very bad @ss!!!!! |

Sep 3, 2002 5:40 PM | | Dear god, look it realy wouldn't surprise me all that much. I must say though, that is a sweet looking ride. Observe the front hub!! Plus the well wierd waffle lacing on the spokes. Used by all DHers with more time and money than sense, as well as the odd cool old RockShox R&D dude. |
| extra special wheelbuild- observe valve stem placement | Seb
Sep 4, 2002 7:57 AM | | Not between diverging spokes as a normal, $3000 DH bike would have, but placed between two leading spokes? OK, I've made that mistake before when lacing up, but why leave it that way on on BOTH wheels, especially if your pumping $10,000 into the bike? |
| weird, really nm | sp

| Do i see spikes on the stem? nm | MrMook

| yep, but they are rubber | Seb
Sep 4, 2002 7:56 AM | | Seen those type stem pads at BMX shops. Designers buy big molded sheets of this rubber with modled cones on it and use it to make bondage clothing, artsy-rocky pillows, stuff like that. My girlfriend has a backpack coivered with the stuff, and says it actually does freak a lot of people out in crowded elevators. |
| Could be that... | tlg
Sep 4, 2002 3:57 AM | | he has no mechanical ability, and has all upgrades, repairs, and maintenance done at the LBS. |
| re: "MONEY PIT" | FSR Guy
Sep 4, 2002 4:46 AM | | What an idiot. He could've bought a crotch rocket or a 4-stroke Yamaha YZ-426 for that much $$$. Or 2 really nice Intense M1's.
Can we say "I spend more time fixing my bike than I do riding it?"
I think he just waived the "I'm a dork flag" on that one. |
